February 2013 NPD: Fire Emblem: Awakening sells over 180,000 combined, best first month for Fire Emblem
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Fire Emblem: Awakening has been a smashing success thus far. In February, the game’s first month at retail in the US, Awakening moved over 180,000 units. 117,000 copies were sold at retail with another 63,000 coming from the eShop.
Awakening has seen the best first month for a Fire Emblem game by far. Life-to-date sales of Shadow Dragon, the last Fire Emblem title to be released in North America, stand at just over 250,000 units. According to Nintendo, Fire Emblem’s 3DS outing “sold 70 percent of that figure in just 28 days.”
“Building off its 92 Metacritic score, Fire Emblem Awakening for Nintendo 3DS had the best first month sales in franchise history, selling more than 180,000 units (more than 117,000 at retail + more than 63,000 digital units). By comparison, the previous hand-held entrant in the franchise – Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon – has sold a little more than 250,000 units life to date in the U.S. Fire Emblem Awakening sold 70 percent of that figure in just 28 days.”

Nintendo responds to “guilty” verdict in patent infringement case
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Nintendo is confident that the result will be set aside. The jury’s verdict will not impact Nintendo’s continued sales in the United States of its highly acclaimed line of video game hardware, software and accessories, including the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others.”
– Nintendo Statement
As expected, Nintendo will be appealing the decision and trying to get it reversed. None of us are law professors or lawyers (probably– maybe one of you will surprise me), so it would be hard for us to comment on exactly whether this is a fair decision or not. If they are guilty, it’ll be the first time in quite a while that Nintendo will have lost a lawsuit!

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Disney Infinity won’t be making its original June release. The game has been pushed back to August 18 in North America while most internetional territories will be getting it on August 20. A confirmed date of August 23 has been set for the UK.
Speaking about the decision to move Disney Infinity’s release, Disney Interactive co-president John Pleasants said:
“We could deliver in June if we wanted to. Will a two-month timing change help us? Sure, of course. It gives us a little more time to add bells and whistles and make sure it really sings and pops.”
Pleasants added in another statement that Disney hopes “to capitalize on the critical fall retail season.”
“We have moved the launch date for Disney Infinity to August 18 to capitalize on the critical fall retail season.”
